Membrion
Membrion is a UW spinoff whose technology uses readily available, non-toxic and low-cost materials to produce advanced ceramic ion exchange membranes which perform better and cost significantly less than today’s ceramic and polymer options. They are currently deploying this technology to the rapidly growing desalination market, helping to address the global water crisis.
